If it is liquid then it should have a magnetosphere, because the moon doesn’t, then this means that our understanding of how our magnetic field is generated is not complete.

IIRC, If the ‘solid’ iron core is moving at the same rotational speed as the liquid, there would be no dynamo effect to generate a field.
